What are the health benefits of LifeinU™ BSCU1?
LifeinUTM BSCU1, offered by Gnosis by Lesaffre, contains a specific strain of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis CNCM I-2745.

It has even been shown to reduce the frequency of upper respiratory tract infections in healthy, free-living seniors by 45%!
Have the effects of LifeinU™ BSCU1 been supported through any human clinical trials?
The effects of LifeinU™ BSCU1 on common winter infections in seniors have been studied in a clinical trial conducted by Professor Philippe Marteau (Saint Antoine Hospital, Paris, France)(2). This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial demonstrated how this product can stimulate the immune system and has the potential to decrease the frequency of winter infections.
